Xorg.log with backtraces

I was trying a game last week, but suddenly the screen froze and it went blank
for a few seconds, but kept freezing and blanking. In the background the game
continued running. I was able to switch to the console and kill X to get the
screen back.

I noticed X gave some backtraces in the log. Find those attached.

I first encountered it in the game Valyria Tear, but later I was told by
someone that this bug also surfaces in OpenArena (screencast of the bug can be
found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiv94VYlHZU ). I was able to confirm
this on my system as well.

My system is a Gentoo Linux, arch is AMD64 (native, so no 32bit support),
Radeon HD 3450 card and the 7.0.0 version of the Xorg ati drivers. My system is
setup for debugging (gdb, strace present. Most stuff compiled with debug info),
so if more info is required I'm willing to provide them (do give instructions
on how to obtain them).
